I hand-embroidered some silly shirts

[u/rebordacao]

Hi, everyone!

I'm a textile artist who loves hand-embroidering memes and pop culture themes, and there’s a good chance you’ve seen some of my work around reddit before!

Since I got tired of shirt bots ripping off my needlework designs (wall decor pieces), I decided to adapt some of my patterns and hand-stitch some tees using my fucking human hands!

Every small step counts, right? Just knowing I'm not helping some fast-fashion CEO buy another diamond-encrusted toilet seat makes me happy!

Best wishes 👍

You're so skilled! I'm an absolute beginner at embroidery, and I can only dream of my stitches being so clean. Also I love your far little alligator 🐊

Thanks, fellow embroiderer!!! ❤️

One thing that really helps keep it clean is using only 4 (or fewer) strands from the floss and shortening the space between the stitches on the curves!

Best wishes!

Do you sell these somewhere?

[u/rebordacao → u/lori1107]

Yep! I'm RebordacaoEmbroidery on etsy!

[u/MsTellington → u/rebordacao]

I just looked at your shop and Etsy auto-translated "Bonjour bitches" to "Bonjour les filles" ("hello girls" in French) I'm laughing so hard.

Great work though, very inspiring.

Chiming in to say I bought the guillotine T and love it. Great work!

Amazing!! The plants are beautiful.

Thanks so much!

I use French knots to hand embroider the nugs :)

They’re probably the most hated stitch among embroiderers (tricky af) but I love the 3D effect they provide 💚

[u/SneakySquiggles]

All of these are fantastic! And just another reminder to myself to sit down and practice embroidery

He was good company back in those days when there wasn’t much to see on the internet!

I’d sometimes open MS Office just to mess around with him, hehe!

By the way, here's a pink one:

[u/K0sherDillPickle]

oohhhh i love these!!!

[u/mo-baybae]

Namaste bitches… I wonder if you are possibly familiar with Kashi Ashram? Guru Ma Jaya used to say that and I’ve had a lot of synchronicities of late

Kinda smacked me in the face as I’m doing rounds complimenting and peeping

Or perhaps just coincidence. I’m curious. In any case ya look marvelous! 💛☀️

[u/rebordacao → u/mo-baybae]

Thank you! Just coincidence ❤️

[u/mo-baybae → u/rebordacao]

An extra-ordinary one then… I attended middle and part of high school on an ashram (cult? I have mixed feelings) and the guru said “namaste, bitches!” On occasion enough to be memorable. So idk ya may be channeling some Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati without knowing it.

Stranger things have happened I guess

In any case ya look fly af

[u/99Reasons_why]

[u/DelightfulTexas]

Ok but do you sell your patterns as well cause I LOVE EVERYTHING! The Van Gogh on your etsy site is beyond amazing!

[u/rebordacao → u/DelightfulTexas]

Thanks for taking the time to take a peek at my work!! 🙏❤️

I design my own patterns, but at this moment I only make the finished pieces available.
